I recommend artificial turf soccer fields. They're padded! They're flat. They're good for watching games, or people watching too. And you can pretend to be a winger or striker, constantly measuring the angle and distance to the far right corner, because who doesn't want to be like the GOAT?

Gary is harsh or extreme, even, but the point largely stands: https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/what-if-generative-ai-turn...

Personally I think there will be things that gen-AI is useful for, such as rapid education for beginners and learning or performance feedback mechanisms. Those use cases are promising, and still in development. Hopefully they'll be cost-effective as well.
